After a year in hibernation it’s great to be back out in the community enjoying each other’s company.
Prep 2021. Very different to Prep in 1984 😳
In a day of terrible news, here’s some good news; Donna and I are finally ready to announce that we’re having a third child - a little boy due at the end of June.
At one of the many consultation sessions on development proposals at 1 Beryl Ave, local residents lobbied for a revamped playground at Progress Park. Last year during the playground strategy consideration, I fought hard to have the playground upgraded in 21/22.
Learning to count to five in Japanese!
Bit of a treat this morning after swimming lessons at @activemonash; a district school carnival. April is leading in picking the winners!
** Upgrades to Scotchmans Creek Trail **
Happy National @levi.melbourne Chicken Roll Day - there’s none better!! 😋😋😋

So this happened today. I admit to being a tad sad that my baby girl is all grown up.
I got home from Council to this 😍😍
Two years ago today!

Cracking day for lunch outdoors @oakleighfishnchippery 👍
The wait is over!
Looking for something to do with the kids these school holidays? Check out the @encoretheatreau production of Roald Dahl’s George’s Marvellous Medicine, showing all week until Saturday. It’s on at the Clayton Community Centre and tickets are only $10!
We’ve just had some floorboards polished so shipped the girls off to Nana and Pa’s to avoid the fumes. Great opportunity for a date night at Modu in Clayton.
Saw this at @justitalyfood this morning. Great way to recycle, reuse and reduce waste 👍👏
My little angel just got her ears pierced. Growing up too quickly 😢

Today, it was the Archangel Michael & St Anthony's Coptic Orthodox Church annual fete in Drummond Street. Open until 4pm!

But wait, there's more!
.
I'm pleased to announce that after some intense lobbying, we've managed to secure $900,000 from the State Government towards a Council plan to build a fenced, sensory space at the site. It will also be the very first all abilities playspace in the City of Monash
.
We also plan to activate the empty block opposite with new park seating, landscaping improvements, local art and natural shade. We're even planning a new shared zone with open space linkages. The concept plans aren't quite ready to be released yet, but trust me - they're exciting - stay tuned!
.
A big thanks to Meng Heang Tak MP for his support in getting this funding across the line

As part of Councils Walking & Cycling strategy, we're about to begin an upgrade of the shared user path between Huntingdale Road and Kevin Street.
.
Works will include construction of a 3m wide path with associated line markings and signage!

JANUARY 30th - NATIONAL LEVI CHICKEN ROLL DAY BY ORDER OF THE MAYOR 🙌 On this day last year, the then Mayor of @monashcouncil @crstuartjames was kind enough to decree January 30th National Levi Chicken Roll Day. As any who have tried it would know, this is no ordinary chicken roll.... the roasted chicken served in a @bakery_lievito potato roll is accompanied with stuffing, mayo, three day gravy and a few cheeky French fries. If you haven’t tried one yet, today is the day!! This @emmajeffrey01 masterpiece is now being copied by eateries around Melbourne, but nothing will ever come close to matching the original. Do yourself a favor today, on National Levi Chicken Roll Day... 🤌

Happy first day of school to all the excited little prepies out there - such a special time 🎉🥳🎈
.
(Also, we’ll remind you how much you love school in 12 years time)
